SUPPOSED HISTORIC FIELD.

Around what was then the field in
which was picked the gem is supposed
TO cluster many historic memories, and
this has been the groundwork for MINER
Gus Revolutionary stories. IL is claimed,
and while there is no exact proof brought
TO bear, there is, on the other hand,
nothing TO prove the contrary, that
this field afforded camping ground
TO the savage Indians, to La
fayette during the Revolutionary
war, and in the recent unpleasantness Of
the Confederate troops. On Semmes
street-two squares nearer the Peters
burg raiIroad-have been dug up a num-
Der OF French and Indian beads, some of
which Mr.. Wallace has among his
relics. IN digging in his back yard
Mr.. Dayis's hands resurrected the
remains of supposed soldiers who
died in the French hospital also
several Spanish coins, a piece OF petri-
fled wood, and cannon ball. The
ball was two feet below the surface. In
addition to these he came across several
Indian implements. including stone
points. This matter goes to prove
that the traditions discredited by SO
many may be well founded.

SCHOOL BONDS.
More Money Needed to Properly
Kun the schools.

Tomorrow morning the Finance Com.
mittee of the City Cou noil will consider
the matter of raising funds for the cree.
tion of new school buildings and some Of
the members of the Board of Education
will be present to urge the needs of the
departments. Mrs. Averill, of the
Board of Education, said last night that
some action should be taken in the mat
ter at once to raise money. If it is
found that bonds can be issued for such
purpose then they should be issued.
Now that real estate is increasing so
rapidly lots should be purchased for
future use. especially in the western
portion of the city. In laying out the
0ity in earlier days it was
not contemplated that it would
ever be so thickly populated
as it is at present, or as it gives premise
of being, and few lots were reserved for
school purposes. The consequence is
that the Department finds itself now
with no money to build if there were
lots. Both Mrs. Averill and Mr.. Earl
were of the opinion that lots should be
purchased at once, before property
reaches so great price that 1T cannot be
purchased reasonably. In case sufficient
money is raised by bonds to enable the
Board of Education to provide facilities
for the proper tuition of the children who
are now neglected and unable to receive
any schooling that amounts to much,
the Board of Education will take time to
properly seleet such locations for build
ings as will be best suitable. The action
of the Finance Committee and of the
City Council is awaited with great inter
est by the members of the Board of Ed
ucation, as we'll as those who have chill
dren to educate.
According to the late report OF th,
Board of Education, there were eighty
six teachers in the department, and t.
these there was paid S57,07 81 salar,
during the year. The average per teach
er would be, according to these figures
but S675 per year, or counting at thu
rate of ten months, but S67 so pc
month. Compared with other cities
this salary is very small. The statistics
OF San Francisco show that the average
paid there for every month 10 the year i
S92; in Alameda county the average il
sol per month; in Modoc county it is
$50 per month, and in Sacramento, SIS
These figures show that the teachers
here are paid too little for their services,
and the least that could be done would
be to pay them the present salary every
month during the year. Proper educa
ton for the children and proper pay fol
the teachers are the points in view.

UNITING REVENUE DISTRICTS,
ketrenchment and Economy IL
OFFICIAL ways,

WASHINGTON, May 2l.-The Presi.
dent issued an order to-day, changing
and consolidating number OF Internal
Revenue districts throughout tha coun-
try. The State of Nevada is consolidated
with the Fourth District Of California.
The Territory of Utah is added to the
district of Montana.
Under this order of reorganization a
number OF districts will be abolished and
the collectors there will be retired from
the service. among them the district of
Nevada. Commissioner Miller says
that the new arrangement of
the districts will not interfere with
the convenience of the tax
payers, and will save to the Government
more than $l00, 900 annually.
1t is said to be the intention to require
such collectors as now are occupying
rented offices, to remove 10 Government
buildings in all cases where it is prac-
ticable, and it is also probable that
other changes will be made, which will
insure still greater economy and eff
cheney in the management of this branch
of the Civil Service.
The order of consolidation was care
fully considered, and was agreed to by
the President, the Secretary of the
Tsury and the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue

leyer, of the Sutter County Farmers
Association, says; '1n Sutter county,
the grain crop promises TO be one OF full
average, which means in that county
about twenty-five bushels to the acre
Some fields of wheat seem good for forty
bushels an acre. Grain on summer fall
low is looking remarkably well. The
average in grain this season is l0per cent
above the usual average. The foregoing
apolies to Yuha, also, with the excep-
ton that the average yield in that
county does not equal Suffers average
of twenty-five bushels to the acre. As
to the harvesting of barley, Obleyer
says, it begins in few weeks. The
grain in some places is fast turning yel-
low. The crop of Yuba and Sutter

ter than last year.
